Ayo what's good? I learned alot from last year's outdoor grow, and I want to do another one :D.
To put it briefly, last year I grew a Blue Dream and Fire Purps outside in my 3x3 beds outside. Deciding I wanted to grow monsters, they were easily like 10+ feet tall which was a huge mistake. Bad weather beat her up real bad and budrot destroyed most of it. Managed to get some usable buds which was nice, but the effort was not worth it at all.
We are going to do it again this year obviously, but hopefully I've learned enough from the last one to do a good job this time around.
This year I'll be growing plants from HSC. Got a Blueberry Muffin and Bigfoot Glue. Heard really good things about HSC and never tried their stuff besides a Hella Jelly of which I'm currently growing inside.
To start off, I pretty much planted cover crop early in the season before chopping it down and mulching over it with some reclaimed and reamended soil. Fast forward about a month and in our Blueberry Muffin goes.
Its important to note that this year, I did not grow the plant for like 5-6 weeks inside a tent before transplanting outside. I grew her in the tent for about 6 days before put her in the bed around the second week of June. I want large plants, but not absolute monsters. I figure that it starts flowering mid august so I've got about 10 weeks worth of veg.
Finally getting a break in the hot weather this week. Down to around 80-85 which is nice. Cool nights around 72.
She's growing really well. I'm very impressed with the vigor of this plant. Its crazy how well cannabis can grow in an outdoor environment, even in not perfect conditions. I couldn't imagine a plant growing this big or vigorously in my tent in this amount of time. Very cool.
I'll probably begin spraying her with neem soon.
Thought I would just post the progress all in one week.
She's obviously entered flower and is currently in mid to late flower.
She's a really fast girl. Chunking up like crazy and putting off this amazing blueberry muffin smell. This is an absolute dream plan. She grows vigorously and her buds are large and dense.
Unfortunately there has been a caterpillar infestation. A good majority of her colas are infested, and I don't really have alot of hope for a good harvest from her.
After doing a bunch of research on BT, i decided to bite the bullet and just spray her. Seems like it was effective, but I think I may have been a few days late.
Pray for me boys.
Welp, its time to harvest. As you can see my beautiful plant got fuckin' demolished by caterpillars. Got maybe an ounce of usable bud. I think the problem was that i got lazy and complacent. I usual spray neem, but didn't this year as I didn't notice any immediate infestation. Should have been spraying neem and maybe BT on her shortly before flowering. Oh well, there's always next year.
